Operating Principles
3/17(W)w

General
Travel drive and motor (73) consists of four components: swash plate type axial plunger motor (81),
counter-balance valve (80), parking brake (78), and reduction gears (79). Travel drive and motor
(73) converts the energy of pressure oil supplied by the pump into rotational force of proper speed,
and transmits this force to sprockets (74) to run the machine. When the machine is going downhill,
the travel drive and motor prevents it from overrunning, or forces the machine to a halt when it
stops. When the machine parks or stops on a slope, the braking torque of the travel motor shaft
prevents the machine from moving.
Travel drive and motor (73) is mounted on lower frame (72) and is capable of supporting the
machine weight and of countering external force acting on the track frame during digging operation.
4/17(W)w

Pressure oil from the hydraulic pump enters port (77) and flows through counter-balance valve (80)
to run motor (81) at high speed. Reduction gear (79) reduces the high rotational speed to produce
slow and large torque which it turn rotates hub (1) (case). The motor return oil flows through
counter-balance valve (80) and out of port (76), and returns to the oil tank. The motor rotates
reversely when the pump pressure oil enters port (76) and is drained from port (77).
During motor rotation, case drain oil from sliding sections returns from port (75) to the tank. The
counter-balance valve controls the motor rotation by controlling the oil flow into/from the motor.
Parking brake operates together with the spool of the counter-balance valve. The parking brake is
released when the motor operates and engaged when the motor stops.
The operating principle will be explained for each of the above four components.
5/17(W)w

Motor
The pressure oil from the pump enters port (77) in rear flange (27), and flows through the brake
valve section in the rear flange. It then goes to the cylinder bores in cylinder block (3) through
kidney port (82) in timing plate (35).
Depending on the swash plate angle, kidney port (82) in timing plate (35) allows the pressure oil to
go to only four to five cylinder bores (83) that are situated on one side of Y1 - Y2 line between the
top and bottom dead centers of the piston stroke.
6/17(W)w

The pressure oil in cylinder bores (83) of cylinder block (30) generates force (84) to pistons by
acting on the ends of pistons (31) (four or five).
Piston force (84) then acts on swash plate (29) through shoe (32). Swash plate (29) is tilted to the
piston, so pistons (31) are moved down on the tilted surface of swash plate (29) by piston force (84).
As pistons move down, cylinder block (30) rotates.
Since cylinder block (30) and shaft (28) are directly connected with splines, shaft (28) rotates
together with cylinder block (30) which in turn generates torque.
7/17(W)w

Counter-balance valve
Starting and traveling
Pressure oil comes into port (77) in rear flange (27), opens valve (52), and flows into kidney port (82
-1) in motor timing plate (35). From the kidney port, this oil flows into cylinder bores (83) in
cylinder block (30) to run the motor.
At the same time this pressure oil flows through passage (88) into spool chamber (89) from small
hole (87) of spool (48), thereby pushing spool (48) that is held in its neutral position by spring (54)
to the left. As spool (48) is pushed leftward, it introduces passage (85), recesses of spool, against
rear flange (27). Through passage (85) created between kidney port (82-2) in timing plate (35) and
port (76) in rear flange (27), return oil flows back into the tank. As spool (48) moves from its neutral
position, passage (86) to the parking brake opens, and pressure oil flows into the cylinder chamber
of the parking brake. This releases the parking brake force and allows the motor to run.
8/17(W)w

When pressure oil flows to port (76) in rear flange (27) and is drained from port (77), the directions
of each component reverse, thereby causing the motor to run in reverse direction.
9/17(W)w

Stopping
Suppose the machine is traveling, with pressure oil supplied to port (77) in rear flange (27). As soon
as this supply is shut off, spool (48) tends to move back to its neutral position due to the force of
spring (54), because the hydraulic pressure that pushes spool (48) is lost. In this case, the oil in spool
chamber (89) tries to flow into port (77) through passage (88), pushing spool (48). However,
because the oil flow is restricted at passage (88), back pressure occurs which in turn slows down the
movement of spool (48).
The motor keeps running by inertia even when the pressure oil is stopped. The motor return oil
therefore tries to flow back to port (76) from kidney port (82-2) in timing plate (35) through passage
(85), a clearance between the recess of spool (48) and rear flange (27). When spool (48) returns fully
to the neutral position, it blocks the motor return line completely, thereby forcing the motor to a halt.
To smoothly stop the motor running by inertia, the counter-balance valve slows down the movement
of spool (48) using the back pressure generated by restricting the motor return line through the
recess shape of spool (48).
10/17(W)w

When the brake is applied to stop the motor, the motor keeps rotating by inertia if pressure oil is
stopped, and act as a pump. However, oil is no longer supplied because the suction line is blocked
by spool (48), thereby inducing possible cavitation. Valve (52), which takes action at a slight
negative pressure under this condition, then causes the oil to flow into kidney port (82-1) in timing
plate (35) from port (76) so as to prevent cavitation.
When pressure oil is supplied to port (76) in rear flange (27) during operation, each of the above
components moves reversely, forcing the motor to a halt.
11/17(W)w

Overspeeding
As the machine goes down a steep slope, its speed increases, and the motor will run faster than oil
can be supplied. This faster motor rotation is called "overspeed". When this happens, port (77) goes
negative to pull the oil, moving spool (48) to the right. As a result, return passage (85) is restricted,
which in turn causes back pressure. This back pressure causes a resistance to the motor which tries
to overspeed by inertia so that the motor will run in accordance with the flow rate of oil supplied
from the pump.
12/17(W)w

Parking brake
Starting and travelling (Parking brake released;)
When the pressure oil moves spool (48) of the counter-balance valve to the left from the neutral
position, passage (86) to the parking brake opens. And the pressure oil pushes valve (45) until it
closely contacts with the bottom face of valve seat (44). This blocks passage (90) to the drain port.
Thus, the pressure oil enters piston chamber (91) through passage (92).
As the pressure rises beyond the set value, it overcomes the force of spring (39) that pushes piston
(38), and forces spring (38) to move. The movement of piston (38) eliminates the force of spring
(38) which is acting on separator plates (42) and friction plates (41) and allows friction plates (41) in
cylinder block (30) of the travel motor to freely rotate, thereby releasing the brake force acting on
cylinder block (30) of the travel motor.
13/17(W)w

Stopping (Parking brake applied;)
When the supply of pressure oil is shut off, spool of the counter-balance valve returns to the neutral
position. Passage (86) which is connected to the parking brake closes and there is no pressure.
Consequently, spring (46) moves valve (45) away from the surface of valve seat (44). The pressure
oil in piston chamber (91) goes through passages (92) and (90) to port (75). The drain is then led to
the tank. There is no longer pressure in piston chamber (91) and spring (39) forces piston (38)
against the inner surface of the spindle. When piston (38) is pushed, free separator plates (42) and
friction plates (41) are also pushed to spindle (2). The friction force caused by this pushing force
stops the rotation of cylinder block, thereby causing the brake torque to act on the motor shaft.
14/17(W)w

Reduction gear
When shaft (28) of the motor makes one turn, input gear (6) that is splined to shaft (28) also makes
one turn. Three spur gears (7) whose involute teeth are engaged with input gear (7) rotate in reverse
direction to one another. Each spur gear (7) rotates at a speed, inversely proportional to the gear
ratio. The rotational speed and direction of crankshaft (9) are the same as those of spur gear (7),
since they are directly connected with splines.
15/17(W)w

When crankshaft (9) rotates, eccentric portions (93) and (94) also rotate and provide eccentric
movement to gear A (4) and gear B (5).
16/17(W)w

Each gear A or B has 35 teeth. As gear A (4) and gear B (5) start eccentric movement, their trochoid
teeth rotate in rolling contact with 36 pins (12) which are located on the inside surface of hub (1).
When crankshaft (9) makes one turn, gear A (4) and gear B (5) perform one cycle of eccentric
movement, respectively. During this one cycle, pin (12) shifts by one pitch, a difference between 36
pins and 35 teeth, in the same direction as crankshaft (9) rotates. This pin rotation is transmitted to
hub (1). Hub (1) advances by 1 pin. The ratio is 1/36. The overall reduction ratio is 1/57.6. This ratio
is obtained by multiplying the reduction ratio 15/24 between input gear (6) and spur gear (7) by the
reduction ratio 1/36 due to eccentric movement.
